Eagle_Adam Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 that hood cleaned up good man Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Thanks man. the crud left on there is where the paint is missing and its a little rusty. Matches the truck :rofl: Sucks I gotta work this weekend. Would have been a good project to do up.. then i'd just be left with the rockers and cab corners. Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 lolz, just rockers and cab corners - ur a funny guy! did i leave you enough on those? Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Yeah, those rockers and cab corners aren't going to be fun. I haven't pulled them out of the back yet, but looked to be plenty enough there! So far i've only cleaned up the hood and wiped down the doors & cowl. The gauge cluster you left me looks pretty damn nice man. All the pieces look to be in good shape, even the light holders I was after. Speaking of I need to count the lights and place an order for LEDs Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 ya, do them while its out. I found out about the LED's after i put my gauges back in then found out they are like $10 a piece! and said fuck it - autozone has em Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 ^^ What man? :\ I bought these for my dime... http://www.superbrig...wedge-base/197/ Heres what they did for me. And they are like a buck thirty a pop. I got out only spendin about 25 bucks to do all the lights in the dime, including shipping. Before After For the 620 cluster... You would need the following.... 3x Red 90degree bulbs for dummy lights x $0.79 1x Blue 90degree bulb for the brights x $1.39 Idc to replace the turn signal bulbs... But figure 2x two green LEDS at $1.39 Now for the speedometer and gas/gauge clusters... Thats your choice. I didn't get 360 for the dime, i just bought 120degree ones and it was bright enough to see. Theres about a four dollar difference PER bulb depending on 360 to 120 degree. at best figure 3x green (for stock colors) x $1.39 Total you're looking at about $11 plus shipping for all that. Add about $14 bucks to that if you get three of the 360 degree bulbs. http://www.superbrig...wedge-base/211/ Lulz, shit i think i just sold myself :blink: Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 im on this site all the time! how in the hell did i never see that thread? Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Just ordered my LED's Bought three red wedge based LEDs for the dummy lights, one for the brights. then three "Cool White" 220degree 5bulb wedge based for the cluster normal lights. Ill post results once I get them, before and after at night... Total cost? 18.57 Shipped! Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Can't wait to see it! Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 This is something I've been meaning to do as well... Ive had that LED thread bookmarked for months. I should probably just get it done... Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Well this can be done nicely on a budget for around twenty bucks. It's a good deal. You can see the difference on my old 510 alone. I did the same on the b210. But it only requires one light since the whole thing is fiber optics. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Lolwut Before. Lights After. Keep in mind, before and after it is more clear in person... Especially after. Much better! Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 And it would be more clear if I cleaned the plastic covers. She's dirty. Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Dude, pm me a list of part number and a site URL. DO WANT Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Part numbers are in the picture :rofl: the before the before and after post... I can give you the info tomorrow if you want its a bitch using my phone Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Adam. I ordered the WLED-CW5... they are color "Cool white" and 280? degree bulbs. Thats what they look like with the green covers still in the gauge cluster. If you order blue ones instead of cool white it makes a black light effect. Kind of neat, too. Then the orange needles really pop. You can pull apart your gauge cluster and take the green covers out like in the other thread and im sure it'd be a bit brighter, then you can get the exact color you want for your cluster lighting. I cleaned the plastic cover last night a little, here it is with a quick wipe down. more back in the driver position Outside looking in They are nice and bright enough to be seen easily in the cab, but not blinding you.

Eagle_Adam Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 i think for $20 you would be stupid not to do this upgrade if your taking the gauge bezel off!!! im ordering 2 sets today, one for me and one for my dads build. He was pretty ecstatic when i showed him the before and after pics :D Quote Link to comment
